Come on ride the train...it's the choo choo train...

This weekend we went on a field trip to ride some miniature trains... so. much. fun. .... and FREE... the kids (and us) were able to go on many rides around the track (and on different trains)...

Braeden... after he just saw a Thomas train go around the track...

Waiting for tickets to ride the trains... all the rides were FREE, but we left a small donation...

While waiting in line we were able to watch the trains go around the track...

The first train we got to ride on... my favorite detail is the little doll hanging out the window as the conductor...

As we took off from the station....

About to pass another train...

Thomas... there was a Percy train too... but I wasn't able to get a picture of that one...

Braeden with Daddy...

Ryleigh with Mommy...

It was fun to see all the miniature trains... that really worked!

Braeden.... waiting to leave the station... on his 4th ride...I think he would have stayed all day...

Musical Mondays - Parachute

Every music class ends with parachute play. When I started the class and the kids were a little over a year old, I had a small parachute that we would have them shake, and then shake with balls bouncing on it. Now that the kids are older...and I have more children in the class... we have a bigger parachute that is even more fun :) We do circle songs (like ring a Round the Rosie- or "ring round rosie"); a parachute ride- where they all pile on and get a ride; and running or laying under the parachute while it goes up and down.

This is a picture of some of the girls in the class holding hands in a circle for the train song
